The mechanical behavior of concrete composites is influenced by the characteristics of mortar-aggregate interfaces. Initiation and propagation of cracks at the interface or penetration of cracks into the aggregate can greatly influence the global behavior of the material. In the interfacial regions

## Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to apply the techniques of fracture mechanics to a study of fatigue crack propagation in compact bone. Small cracks parallel to the long axis of the bone were initiated in standardized specimens of bovine bone. Crack growth was achieved by cyclicall
